Be a Connector
Are you a friendly person who likes to introduce new people to our amazing (but somewhat complex) congregation?
The Connect & Engage team is inviting UCV members to help between two and five new folk get connected with the people, programs and information they may want in order to feel connected with the congregation. We’re anticipating that one or two contacts per month (e.g. saying “hello” on Sunday morning or an email mentioning an event you’re going to that you think they’d enjoy) is all that would be necessary for up to a year.
Some may move very quickly to “flying solo”; others may decide this isn’t for them.
If you’re up for trying it, what will happen is that people who fill out our survey online will be introduced to you by email and you’ll take it from there. We’ll try to match up your interests and theirs. For example if you’re in a men’s group, we’d forward people who have checked that, similarly for book groups, etc. Alternatively you may just wind up chatting with someone on a Sunday or at a meeting and will let us know that that’s someone you’re willing to continue to welcome and show around.
We anticipate occasional gatherings of the connectors to share feedback from what we hear from new people and see what we can do about it.
Here’s the “position description”.
All of this is flexible–just some suggestions.
